EMF is an international
student exchange organization, designated as an Exchange Visitor
Program by the U.S. Department of State. EMF's goal is to help
young people around the world experience life in another country.

Through international
educational and cultural exchange, young people from many nations have
the unique, eye-opening experience of being immersed in the family,
school and society of a foreign country.

The result is a real
recognition of the value of diversity, an appreciation of the unique
qualities of other countries and cultures, increased self-esteem and
confidence and a better developed ability to recognize opportunities
and solve problems with a multi-cultural perspective. The EMF student
experience reaches teenagers and young adults at the time when they are
shaping their views of the world and making critical, lifelong choices
about their continuing education and careers.

Our inbound High
School Exchange Program brings high school student from abroad for
either a semester or full academic year of study and life in the United
States. Each student is matched with a suitable volunteer host family
and attends a public or private high school in the area.

Our work/travel
program allows international college students to work legally in the
United States during their main vacation from school. The program is
designed to give American employers the opportunity to diversify
their work force and meet their need for seasonal workers, while
offering international students an inside perspective on American
working life.

We offer outbound
programs for American high school and college students in France,
Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Mexico, Canada and
many other countries.
